@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ This behavior is now implemented in modern Java virtual machines.
Later Tazawa and Hagiya~@tozawa_formalization_2002 proposed a formalization of the Java Virtual Machine supporting dynamic class loading in order to ensure type safety.
Those works ensure strong safety for the Java Virtual Machine, in particular when linking new classes at runtime.
Although Android has a similar mechanism, the implementation is not shared with the JVM of Oracle.
Additionally, in this paper, we do not focus on spoofing classes at runtime, but on confusion that occurs when using a static analyzer used by a reverser that tries to understand the code loading process offline.

Contributions about Android class loading focus on using the capabilities of class loading to extend Android features or to prevent reverse engineering of Android applications.
For instance, Zhou #etal~@zhou_dynamic_2022 extend the class loading mechanism of Android to support regular Java bytecode and Kritz and Maly~@kriz_provisioning_2015 propose a new class loader to automatically load modules of an application without user interactions.
